Overview
- Mitsubishi and federal regulators expanded the safety recall to 108,046 vehicles after identifying faulty liftgate gas springs.
- The cylinder can corrode and lose pressure, which can make the liftgate fall or cause a rupture that could injure someone standing at the rear.
- The recall covers 2018–2022 Outlander PHEV and 2014–2020 Outlander models sold in the United States.
- Mitsubishi will replace both left and right liftgate struts at no cost, with owner letters expected June 17 under recall SR-26-001 and customer support at 1-888-648-7820.
- The action builds on a 2025 recall that first focused on high‑salt regions where corrosion advances faster, and Mitsubishi reports four related warranty claims with no known injuries.
